There are some things that are just wrong!
Stealing other peoples images of their work as your own is one of them.
This web site: http://www.cakechooser.com/ was using an image of my own 3d beaded cake.

I don't even understand what it had to do with what they were making. They seem to decorate cakes, I guess.

I contacted them a week ago, explaining that it was my image, and it was illegal to use it without my permission. I heard nothing back, and the image was still there. After a week I contacted their ISP. It is now gone.

But looking at the other images, they all link to an image editing program. So I thought probably none of these images are their own. Looking around at images on Google, I found they were definitely stolen.

I have contacted 3 websites about their stolen images.

What sort of person can do something like this?

To use the image for your own personal use, or to show what other people can do is one thing, but to show it as your own work for monetary gain, is so wrong!
